FINAL REMINDER! 
 
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful and sunny 80-degree day this Saturday for our annual picnic. 
 
So you won't want to miss out on a Larimer Dems tradition: an evening eating great food, listening to live music, meeting your local Democratic elected representatives (current and former), and hearing about local issues and upcoming local races.
 
And it's for a good cause: supporting our efforts for a blue Colorado in 2016!
 
Don't forget Dian Sparling's famous margaritas.
 
This is your last reminder. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, you can purchase them now at larimerdems.org. 
 
See you on Saturday!
 
                                               -- James Thompson, Chair
